Happy Labor Day everyone..I can’t believe how fast the Summer has flown by!
It’s definitely my favorite time of year and I’ve been so busy traveling and working lately that it went by in the blink of an eye! I guess that’s not a bad problem to have, but I feel the end-of-Summer blues coming on…
To keep that relaxed Summer feeling going, I’ve rounded up a few cocktails for you that are light and refreshing and will keep you in that beach-y state of mind!
Hornitos Tequila Zarza
This lovely Summer cocktail blends spicy, smoky Hornitos Resposado Tequila with fresh blackberries and lemon juice and a floater of DeKuyper Creme de Cassis liqueur.
Pinnacle Light & Ripe Apricot Honeysuckle Green Tea
The ultimate refreshing Summer cocktail blends Pinnacle Apricot Honeysuckle vodka with green tea, honey and peach slices with soda water.
On The Rocks The Cosmopolitan
The classic Cosmopolitan martini never goes out of style – especially at a pool party or backyard BBQ. The best part? This Cosmo is already pre-mixed with Effen vodka so all you need to do is pour it in a glass and garnish with a fresh lime and enjoy!
